I am here,
And I am there.
Feel me,
I am there.
Imagine…
My loving arms
Wrapped around you,
Gently,
Holding you tight.
Imagine …
Hungry hands,
Searching lips,
My searing mouth,
Seeking,
And finding,
Finding it all.
Just imagine
Soon come

Author notes
Here in Cayman the expression “soon come” is used to express the sentiment that today is, for the most part, exactly like yesterday and tomorrow is not likely to be any different, so “what’s your hurry?, soon come”. Things do not happen in the proverbial New York minute here, the pace is relaxed and much slower with the notion that patience has its own rewards; I quite like a place where forty feels fast. Although for many of us who have been reared with the “I want it five minutes ago” approach to life, this takes a bit of getting used to, but once you do, you realize the value in slowing down. It also occurs to me that inherent in the expression “soon come” is the potential for a double entendre as it relates to romantic liaisons. I was grinning from ear to ear when this thought came to me. Soon come…yes!

If only I could slow down like that...my soroundings are slow and i'm...lol let's just say I can't even keep up with myself. I admire you for being able to adopt this kind of attitude but maybe you were like that always. Anyways...It was a great write. I really love the lines:"My loving arms
Wrapped around you,
Gently,
Holding you tight." reminds me of my boyfriend
and the whole poem reminds me of the way my life is right now...slow...moving unnoticable. Good write!

delicious
Remarkable and I won't go into it, but right on the mark for me right now. Fitting with my recent poetic endeavors. I like the double entendre. -
the flow of this is so urgent...
U couldn't help but read it twice.... -
Sensual, erotic, passionate, loving. Lovely! Long time, no see! Stop by, please!

Henri, I do love your writing so - but I love your author's comments too, I have to fight the urge to scroll down first and read them, they are always such a delight. Soon come, I love colloquialisms like that - and I agree, what a nice place it must be where forty 'feels fast.' We want everything yesterday, so we never really get to taste today. I don't live anywhere near as nice as the Caymans, but here in Oklahoma, things are alot slower than in other parts of the USA. I like it that way. We get the styles a few years later than some - but it doesn't seem to matter much here. I can definitely relate to this in my own lil' Okie way. lol Thank you for the poem and especially thank you for the comment that followed.

I know that sub-tropic No-one's-in-a-hurry-to-get-anywhere-sort of pace. I spent a good deal of my youth in a place just like that. Only "no worries" doesn't carry the same double (and deeper feeling) of "soon come". Beautiful write, Fergs ~ full of heart, longing and sensuality, a few of my favourite things. Good stuff, mate. x Tilly

These words are so very tender,like a caress. Makes me wish that more people could find this state of peace and remain -- the world would be such a nicer place. I too see the double meaning in the words Soon Come and am grinning widely. Another lovely poem, Henri. Kindest regards - Helen

There is a certain magic to these simple soft tender words. They ring so true to me ... I wish however that we could reach that place of peace and compassion and total respect and love without ever having to return. I think it is possible. So nice. Thanks, Maria

lol this was a really good piece. I loved how it seems to flow so quickly from one verb to the next. It was fast paced and thats what I love! Great job here.

Grinning indeed ! Very sensual write - quite erotic and steamy acutally in a very subtle way - and leaves much to the imagination. Alot of tenderness in your words too. You must have that lurve thing going on! Or as near as dammit. These are the moments that make life exceptional
Hope all is well . ( seems so

Half of what makes your pieces so wonderful is your authors comments. You give us just the smallest extra glimpse into your mind.
I adored this of course. Yes...double entendres are ALWAYS good. Quite a lovely flowing feel to this. Definitely makes a woman contemplate...things.
Very well done my friend... oh yesssss

HOLY MONKEYS, I LOVE THIS POEM! you see, i sort-of have a phobia with the passing of time...so I'm glad you wrote about time slowing down...it puts my mind at ease. I also loved this because your words are dripping with imagery! It's all very fantastic! My favorite line is 'I am here, and I am there.' And I like the way you repeated the word 'imagine' throughout the poem! very effective! keep up the excellent job, and good luck in all you do!

good job!
